MPhil, PhD students given 30 days for field-work, training programmes

MPhil and PhD students can avail 30 days of leave in a year to pursue academic work outside of the university, but with the approval of their supervisors and centre's chairperson. This will, however, be considered a part of their programme tenure.

At least two contact sessions with the supervisor have been made compulsory for every MPhil, PhD student.

60% attendance minimum for students absent over medical reasons

Students absent on health grounds can sit for exams with a minimum of 60% attendance. However, they will have to get their medical documents certified and verified by JNU health centre's chief medical officer, reported Hindustan Times.

Reaction

'A regressive Tughlaqi farmaan'

When the move was first announced on December 22, students and teachers called it draconian, questioning its relevance.

Saying it was a "regressive Tughlaqi farmaan," they found ridiculous to make MPhil/PhD scholars worry about attendance amid research.

Professors termed it irrelevant too, saying JNU didn't have a problem of absenteeism.

They attacked the V-C for "destroying JNU's inclusive and democratic character."
